What Causes Intense Leg Pain While Walking In An Elderly?
My father, presently 83 years ago, has always had trouble with his legs, i.e. aching legs. Now he can only walk 3 blocks and has to stop walking, too uncomfortable. This goes back 45 - 50 years. He smoked for about 20 years but gave that up in 1973. He has had trouble with his back and a hip for many years (50 years). Also he has had bouts with sciatica going back to the late 60 s.Now he can only walk 3 blocks and has to stop, it s too uncomfortable. Thanks for your help. Thanks so much for your help.
